Now for the BEST lyrics you've ever heard

[Theo]

Steve Albini's Big Black have have have some of the best lyrics, in my opinion. Some are a little off-beat, but they all have meaning and they are all great songs :>

Rip
That man's shirt is worth more than your life
And I'd rather kill him than insult you
He hasn't the sense to know we're fighting
He hasn't the fear to run
We have to rip this up
It doesn't look quite right
People like that, too dirty to save
Better watch out, friend
He's gonna get torn
When I poke my fingers in it
I tear him apart
Cover your ears
They make a lot of noise
We have to rip this up
It doesn't look quite right

Shotgun
Got a foot and a half of unregistered steel
Shake that sis, we got a street to deal
Got an inch and a half of number nine shot
Pumped up your ass in the parking lot
Sawed-off
Shotgun
Sawed-off
Shotgun
Got an inch and a half of number nine shot
All pumped up your ass in the parking lot
Got a foot and a half of unregistered steel
Shake that sis, we got a street to deal
Sawed-off
Shotgun
Sawed-off
Shotgun
(Space Invaders and Asteroids sounds)
Bang bang bang bang

Passing Complexion
She was his
She would take his children
Black and white
Right to her own breast
There were times
When he could mix
With ordinary white company
Though?? the subject never came up
No one would notice
He had what they call passing complexion
He had what they call passing complexion
He had what they call passing complexion
He had what they call passing complexion
He'd been white, he'd been black
They asked him, black like that?
Yeah!

Got to love Big Black

[Areku]

But I adore her
this will never happen
but I adore HER
this will NEVER happen
over my DEAD body
of course I think ABOUT it
burn my path if it does
shape my body as I feel
torn
shape my body as I FEEL
torn BROKEN
and if it happens
I'll BURN and crawl deeper in my hole
darkness ALWAYS says hello
and your BURNING BODY will light my way
burning body LIGHT MY WAY

Poison The Well - Botchla

[Ravens Nest]

while the city's busy sleeping
all your troubles lie awake
i walk the streets to stop my weeping
but she'll never change her ways

don't fool yourself
she was heartache from the moment that you met her
my heart feels so still
as i try to find the will to forget her somehow
oh i think i've forgotten her now

her love is a rose dead and dying
dropping her petals and man i know
all full of wine the world before her
but sober with no place to go

don't fool yourself
she was heartache from the moment that you met her
my heart is frozen still
as i try to find the will to forget her somehow
she's somewhere out there now

oh my tears fall down as i tried to forget
the love was a joke from the day that we met
all of the words all of her men
all of my pain when i think back to when
remember her hair as it shone in the sun
it was there on the bed when i knew what she'd done
tell yourself over and over you wont ever need her again

don't fool yourself
she was heartache from the moment that you met her
oh my heart is frozen still
as i try to find the will to forget her somehow
she's out there somewhere now

oh
she was heartache from the day that i first met her
my heart is frozen still
as i try to find the will to forget you somehow
cause i know you're somewhere out there right now


By Jeff Buckley track name 'Forget her'

I like those raven. Something we can all relate to at some stage.

"So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here."

This would be my vote for best lyrics ever, it pulls my heart strings just reading the lyrics , Great pick kaillum.. i had to pick my second favourite jeff buckley 'Forget her' as i have already posted

Yes exactly m8 some songs are so painful to hear but you just have to (Strange that).

I'll quote another song, 'Music was my first love and it will be my last' that really does relate to me.

[Drunken Poncho]

Don't get any big ideas
They're not gonna happen
You paint your house white and fill it with noise
But ther'll be something missing

Now that you find it it's gone
Now that you feel it, you don't
You've gone off the rails

She kisses you with tongues and pulls you to the ground
Don't go you'll only want to come back again

So don't get any big ideas
They're not gonna happen
you'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking

And now that you find it, it's gone
And now that you feel it, you don't
You've gone off the rails

Radiohead : Big Ideas (Dont Get Any (aka Nude))

[Drunken Poncho]

Drift all you like
From ocean to ocean
Search the whole wide world
But drunken confessions
And hijacked affairs
Just make you more alone
If you come home
I'll bake you a cake
Made of all their eyes
I wish you could see me
Dressed for the kill
You're my man of war
You're my man of war

The worms will come for you

So unplug the phone
Stop all the taps
It all comes flooding back
From poison clouds to poisoned dwarf
You're my man-o-war
You're my man-o-war
The worms will come for you
Big boots
For you
Big boots


Radiohead : Big Boots

Originaly recorded for the Avengers Movie soundtrack, but troubled recording sessions forced them to abandon it. Unfortunetly they seem to have abandoned the song also. It has been played live a few times, but i dont ever think we will see a full studio version unfortunately. The same goes for Big Ideas.

I Slide Myself Forward
Through My Head
I Think Half Way
Backwards
See Myself Sing The Anthem
That We Wrote Together
We Had A Dream
We Had Everything
We Rode To The End Of The World
We Rode Searching
Climbed Skyscrapers
That Later Exploded
The Peace Was Out
I Leak Balance
Fall Down
I Slide Myself Forward
Through My Head
I always come back to the same place
Total Silence
No Answer
But The Best Thing God Has Created
Is A New Day

How'd you get your teeth so pearly?
Dew-drop dentures
White-washed faces
She runs from the third world, pearly

Vanilla (feel it crawl to me)
Milkshakes (crawl back again)
From Hard Rock (whatever you say)
Cafes (it won't go away)
That's where (I feel it crawl to me)
She got her (crawls back again)
Sweet tooth (it won't go away)
For white boys (whatever you say)
She runs from the third world, pearly

Hurts me
Darling use me
Darling use me
Darling use me
